    Re: hwnd timer pause VBA countdown timer

    I looked at your file and I don't know why all the vba code to set a timer.
    I'm not going to modify that for but the simple way to pause the timer is to just stop it and leave the remaining time in the countdown cell, and then restart it again continuing with the cells count down value.

    A timer with stop and reset button.
    See attached.
    P.S. I was frightened to death by the music and sounds in your example.

    hi Guys,

    thank you for help!

    P.S. I was frightened to death by the music and sounds in your example.
    haha oo i was the same frightened like you when first time i listened to this timer (my timer is reproducing the logic):

    I'm not going to modify that for but the simple way to pause the timer is to just stop it and leave the remaining time in the countdown cell, and then restart it again continuing with the cells count down value.
    exactly this is what i needed, thank you!

    Regarding your timers - application.ontime do not allow to edit cell white timer is running, and there is a problem with loops inside.

    I added play/pause mechanism to the timer (all is working besides number of loops - i will implement this soon - see attachment).

    Closing the topic,
    Best Wishes,
    Jacek
